--- End quote ---The change is wrought by exchange. Our life for His. I myself, as well as others I've known through the years, have fallen away from following Jesus because of missing this point. The more you look for yourself to change, the less you find has changed. We are not meant to be excessively introspective, but are meant to be Christ perceptive. The more you look to Christ, His presence in your life, the more He is magnified and your life, being abandoned, is full of the character of that presence filling you.
